We tend to minimize the things we can do, the goals we can accomplish, and for some equally strange reason we think other people can accomplish things that we cannot. I want you to understand that that is not true. You have deep reservoirs of talent and ability within you that you can bring to the surface and achieve all that you desire
Earl Nightingale

Your rewards in life are in direct proportion to your service
Earl Nightingale
Image
Achievement requires more than a vision - it takes courage, resolve and tenacity. All you have got to do is plant that seed in your mind, care for it, work steadily toward your goal, and it will become a reality
Earl Nightingale
Image
Your world and everything in it is a reflection of your own mental attitude toward yourself.
Earl Nightingale
Image
The only person who succeeds is the person who is progressively realizing a worthy ideal. That's the person who says, 'I'm going to become this' and then begins to work toward that goal
Earl Nightingale
Image
The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in life clearly discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs his powers.
Earl Nightingale
Image
Security isn't what the wise person looks for - it's opportunity.
Earl Nightingale
Image
Now, success is not the result of making money making money is the result of success - and success is in direct proportion to our service. Most people have this law backwards. They believe that you're successful if you earn a lot of money. The truth is that you can only earn money after you're successful.
Earl Nightingale
Image
We are all creatures of habit. We can do most things without even thinking about them our bodies take charge and do them for us.
